Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Spirit House
The agent heard me say that I wanted to rent, and after confirming it three times, his face was already full of smiles: "I know that you are not simple as soon as I look at you, so you and I go back to the company, and the landlord leaves the lease contract to his friend, and after the contract is signed, you pay half a year's rent and half a year's deposit, no problem." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"No problem." I readily agreed, only 1,200 yuan to rent in such a big place, it is simply a bargain, "You go back to prepare the contract first, I want to stay and see, you have no opinion." ”
The intermediary, who was smiling just now, suddenly turned down again: "Should you think about yourself...... Oh, you still don't have to be curious, just live down-to-earth, as long as you follow what I said, don't care about the landlord on the third floor, I have no problem with you living here for the rest of your life, after all, you can't find such an opportunity to go anywhere else. ”
The intermediary was afraid that there would be an accident if I stayed alone, and the business that had been negotiated was ruined again, so I took out ten hundred bills from my pocket, which was all the cash on my body, stuffed it into his hand and said: "Don't worry, since I dare to stay, there is no problem, these will be paid as a deposit, and if I can find you to sign the contract, I will make up the rest, if I don't go to you, you will treat me as if I have never been here, what do you think." ”
The agent hesitated for a long time, his face was full of worry, and finally took the money and said: "You said it yourself, you be careful, I will wait for you in the store." "Before leaving, the agent specially stuffed me with a talisman, saying that he would bring it with him every time he came here, and lent it to me for the sake of renting a house, and then he ran away quickly.
After the agent left, I took a closer look at the apartment. I searched every corner on the second floor, and it was true that there was no special passage to the upper floor, as the agent said, and the door that had appeared on the wall was gone.
Then I went to the garden on the first floor, and looked around the house, and there was not even a window on the entire third floor, let alone a path to the upper floor, and if I didn't say that the house had a third floor, I wouldn't have known that there were still people living upstairs.
But in the clean garden, it seems that someone has specially taken care of it, and there are still some delicate gardening flowers and plants planted, I am more and more curious about the landlord of this house, and when I return to the house, I see that the agent is hiding behind the green trees and peeping at me, probably not worrying about me alone.
When I went to the second floor again, the door to the wall reappeared, but instead of the previous position, it was in a different place. On the table in the living room on the second floor, there is a cup of brewed coffee, and the strong aroma is coming to the nose.
"Are you just the one who wants to rent here?" I didn't realize that a person was standing on the windowsill on the second floor, looking out the window with deep eyes, and he already knew that I was coming back, so he specially brewed coffee and was waiting for me.
"Yes, are you the landlord?" It's not wrong what I expected, this house is really related to the spirit, and this landlord is not simple, and the aura emanating from him is mixed with all kinds of strange feelings, giving people a very erratic feeling.
The landlord turned to look at me, took the coffee in his hand, and sat down on the sofa, thinking that it would be a difficult conversation, but the other party was very honest about my doubts.
"Have you ever heard of the spirit of the tobukiya ......" By the time the landlord told me everything, he had already had four or five cups of coffee, the sky had already darkened, and the agent had already called several times, and after I called back, the other party was obviously relieved and relieved, I told him that he could go over and sign the contract later, and brought a signed contract from the landlord.
I hadn't really heard of the spirit of Kotobuki before that, and the landlord told me a long story. Once upon a time, there lived a young couple in this house, the man was in the timber business, and the hostess was a beautiful European, and the two met on an ocean-going ship and fell in love at first sight. They soon settled on a residence here, got married and had children for half of their lives.
In many parts of China, there is a custom of customizing a coffin for the undeceased, which is called a longevity coffin, which is generally the will of the younger generation to hope that the elders can live a long life, and it also means that the elders can rest assured that they can have a place to live after death.
But the hostess and the children don't understand, and the man's family is very unhappy, and insults the hostess for not being reasonable, the man has a good business all his life, and often does good deeds and good deeds, and will not die so early, it must be the hostess who opposes the coffin, which causes the male protagonist to be in poor health.
Although the hostess was very disgusted with such superstitions, she did not want the man to be embarrassed, so she thought of a compromise solution, because the man was in the timber business, and the relationship with many carpenters was very good, so she entrusted those business friends to help expand the original two-story building to replace the meaning of the coffin, so the structure of the entire third floor is closed, and only the place with the roof of the building has a ventilated exit.
In this way, not only did the superstitious people's mouths be sealed, but also the atmosphere would not change because of a coffin in the house, and those business partners heard about it, they generously donated all kinds of fine wood from all over the world, hired the best craftsmen, and made the third floor of the building as seamless as possible, and integrated with the original house, and it was impossible to see that it was later processed.
It is also very miraculous, after the third floor is built, the male owner not only returned to his former state, but also became healthier than before, lived longer than the hostess, and when he was in his eighties, he was still in the business world. But one day the man suddenly said that he seemed to see his wife doing housework at home, and the children who lived together at first thought that he was old and dazzled.
The children persuaded him to let go of business matters as soon as possible, anyway, now that the family business is extensive, there are many promising juniors who have been able to fully support the family business, and the male owner who has put down his burden will spend his old age at home.
Because after the timber business became bigger and stronger, the business has expanded to the whole world, the children rarely stay at home, and the stubborn male owner is reluctant to hire some maids, although he is old, he still insists on taking care of himself.
Only come to visit the old man during the New Year's holidays, at first everyone didn't care about some details, until one year a male owner's child found that although the house is only the male owner living alone, but the home is not only cleaned up, the floor has wax, the garden is also planted with flowers and plants, and even every glass is wiped The windows are bright and clean, not at all like an old man who is about to be over 100 years old can do it.
The children asked the man if he had invited someone to clean the house, and the man just shook his head with a smile and insisted that I did it myself, although everyone didn't believe it, but when they saw the old man trembling and wanting to climb up the window to clean the glass, everyone still said in unison that they believed it.
Everyone tacitly regarded it as a secret that the old man did not want to tell, but then what happened became more and more strange, not only was the whole house cleaned, but every time he came to eat, there was a table full of delicious meals, and finally some people couldn't help but want to ask what was going on.
The man just kept his mouth shut, and no one had any way to do it, if he could clean the room and secretly invite someone to do it, then that table of authentic Italian food was not something that could be made by simply hiring a chef, it was the taste of mother.
Although what happened was a very warm thing, but after thinking about it, I still felt hairy, several children said that they had seen their grandmother watering flowers in the garden downstairs in the house, and baked snacks for them to eat, which completely scared the parents.
Gradually, their business is getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting busier and busier, and there is an excuse that they will not come back, and within a few years, the man also passed away peacefully, and the man's will mainly mentions two things related to the house, he is not worried about the huge property at all, only the house and the people who are still in the house.
The man's will said that the house must not be demolished, it cannot be resold, if someone lives in it, it doesn't matter, and he hopes that he can be buried on the third floor of the house. The children don't know about the third floor, they have lived at home for decades, and they never know that the third floor is something that can be accessed, only the eldest son and eldest daughter know, and when they see this will, they also muttered in their hearts.
The eldest son is the most educated by the male owner, although he is not a superstitious person, but he is still very in awe of this kind of thing, so he decided to respect the old man's opinion, and the eldest daughter has been receiving a foreign education, advocating to go to the third floor to find out, but the eldest son is opposed.
In the end, they couldn't resist the drive of curiosity, they brought the man's ashes to the house, and wanted to go to the third floor to see, but they couldn't find the entrance to the third floor, and there were no construction drawings when it was built, and almost all the people who helped repair the house in those years were gone, and the people who knew the situation were no longer alive.
Just as they decided whether or not to find someone to force a passage through the ceiling, the jar containing the old man's ashes was gone. Everyone had to believe the facts in front of them, and after the old man's funeral, they left the house and handed over the house to an intermediary company to manage.
At this point in the story, it sounds like a beautiful ghost story, but the truth is that the wood used to build the third floor of the house, those woods are not only made of fine wood, but also wood that is very old, and some of the wood has been born at the beginning of the shipment, so the hostess asked the man to make it, not just to replace the house of the coffin, but a spirit of the life house, which together with the love of the hostess, has been silently guarding the male owner and her memories.
After listening to this good story, I also explained my identity and origin with the landlord, and when I drank the last cup of coffee, I saw a signed contract pressed under the cup, and the landlord disappeared along with the door on the wall.
